Yes up on the 80% and deletion etc and that messages don't count It was the suggestion that sub groups each get a 1GB limit that confused me Thank you for the clarification Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) The owner and moderators of this group believe the subgroups share the 1 GB limit. However people have been not paying attention to this and it doesn't seem that Mark is either. I would pay attention though. He might start to enforce it. |

Note that not everything counts towards the storage limit. For example, messages don't. What Is Counted Towards The Storage Limits For My Group?
?
The following are counted towards the storage limits for your group:
?
Files
Photos
Images in databases
Images in wiki pages
Message attachments
Messages themselves are not counted towards the storage limits, only any attachments.
?
What Happens If I Go Over My Storage Limits?
?
We send you a warning when you've reached 80% of your storage limit. You can configure your group to either bounce messages when you've reached your storage limit, or to automatically delete old attachments to keep you under the storage limit. Photos and files are never automatically deleted.

Re: Direct Add from existing mailing list could lead to being BANNED?

Denise,
For something like your long time list of people, the invite method, which gives the chance to confirm, may be best. The direct add seems intended for when moving an active list where the members knew it was going to move and had been given the option to drop from the old list first. -Ken Cameron, Member JMRI Dev Team www.jmri.org www.fingerlakeslivesteamers.org www.cnymod.org www.syracusemodelrr.org |

Free group storage limit clarification
I was under the impression free groups had a 1GB storage limit
Does each sub group also have a 1GB limit ? Or is it 1GB for the group regardless of hows many sub groups ? The Wiki says :- What is an individual Group¡¯s Storage Limit? This depends on the type of group in question: Basic (free) Groups have a 1 GB limit; Premium Groups 20 GB and Enterprise Groups 1 TB. -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) |

Re: Leaving a group
Possibly too late for Sheila...
But if your reason for wanting to leave the group is "too many messages!," consider changing your subscription option to daily summary. That makes your inbox much more manageable.? And thanks to the moderators, you can usually tell from each message's subject line whether or not it's relevant to you. |

Having re-read his post, he didn't actually say that. In any event, even using the +owner return address, your Display Name will appear in the message header, if you don't change it to something else first. This does not happen when posting from the member list. Bruce |

Re: Bizarre! has to approve my own posts ??
Check your moderation status.
As I mentioned the other day, on some groups, including GMF, everyone is moderated. Even moderators and owners. As an owner, you can choose your own moderation status. Frances -- Moving to Groups.io (without easy transfer)

How do we send a message to the group from the group owners?Wayne -- There's no convenient way to do this, IMO. You can send a message to 100 subscribers at a time as follows: 1) Go to?/account?page=prefs?and change your "Items per Page" to 100 2)?Go to Admin>Members. 3) Click the "Select All" checkbox at upper left (to the left of the Display Name column label) 4) Scroll down to the Actions menu at the bottom of the page and select "Send Message." 5) On the resulting page, pull down the From: menu and select the group +Owner address (if not already selected) 6) Compose your message and click "Send to Members" 7) Return to the members list and repeat steps 2-6 for each pageful of members. Note that this process is easier if you compose the message ahead of time and save it as a Member Notice of type "Note to Member." Then all you have to do is select that from the list of Notices (pull-down menu immediately below the message composition window). This is particularly handy if you anticipate ever needing to send the same message again. If you have many, many members, such that doing this a page at a time is too burdensome, here's the best work-around that I've come up with: 1) Go to Admin>Members and open your own member record. 2) Change your Display Name to "Owners" (or something like that) and click the Save button. 3) Click on New Topic on the left-side menu bar. 4) Click on the From bar at top of the page and again select the +Owner email address. 5) Tick the "Send as Special Notice" checkbox 6) Compose your message and send. 7) Delete the message from the message archive (if desired). 8) Go back to your member record and change the Display Name back the way it was. This approach has the downside that it won't be received by anyone whose subscription is set to No Email. Also note that any messages appearing in the message archive are displayed with the "current" Display Name. If you don't delete the message in Step #7 before changing your Display Name back, anyone who views messages online will be able to see who sent it. Depending on your anonymity needs, this may or may not be a problem. Hope this helps, Bruce |

Perhaps the "opt out" link that appears in every Direct Add and Invite notification is enough to ensure compliance. Each and every group email contains an unsub link, too. For what it's worth, the whole GDPR thing has been cussed and discussed at length. Do a search on that -- either here or in beta -- and you'll get plenty of hits. Regards, Bruce |

Is there a way to find these dead accounts more easily with a more automated method?? I downloaded the member list to see if there is any field there to indicate any bounce activity but that only includes the members settings, which makes sense.? I could possibly send enough special notices in a day or week to trigger the bounce processing but I've no idea how much activity I would need to generate.? I would rather not do that so as not to bother the entire membership. Go to Admin Members. Use the drop down menu to choose Bouncing.? There are two pages in the GMF wiki about bouncing.?
